The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding

and security responsibilities and to promote continuing awareness of good security practices.

The Annual Briefing helps employees develop an appreciation for the need to protect our country’s

national interests. It also underscores the requirements designed to protect sensitive or unclassified

information and keep classified information out of the hands of those who wish us harm.

Upon completion of this briefing please print and sign the

As a Government contractor:

• We are bound by Executive Order 12829, National Industrial Security Program, which establishes rules and regulations to

properly protect and control all classified material in our possession or under our immediate control.

• We have been granted a Facility Clearance by the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office – a division of the Defense

Security Service (or known as the Cognizant Security Agency).

• Background Investigations are conducted by OPM based upon the employee’s “Need to Know” and the company’s security

requirements imposed by contract (DD254).

• Employees and consultants requiring access to classified information in order to perform work on classified contracts are

granted “eligibility” by DSS and “access” by the Company (in conjunction with the needs of our government client).

Everyone at MIL (cleared or not) has a responsibility to our Nation and

our Company to ensure sensitive or classified material is handled with

the greatest precautions.

America's global engagement makes us a prime target for foreign espionage. It’s not just intelligence

sources that are targeting us. Other sources of the threat to classified and other protected information

include:

• Foreign or multinational corporations

• Foreign government-sponsored educational and scientific institutions

• Freelance agents (some of whom are unemployed former intelligence officers)

• Computer hackers

• Terrorist organizations

• Revolutionary groups

• Extremist ethnic or religious organizations

• Drug syndicates

• Organized crime

Page 8: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

The increasing value of technology and trade secrets in the global and domestic marketplaces, and the temporary nature of many high-tech employments, have increased both the opportunities and the incentivesfor economic espionage.

Foreign governments’ continued ability to acquire state-of-the-art U.S. technology at little or no expense has undermined U.S. national security by enabling foreign firms to push aside U.S. businesses in the marketplace and by eroding the U.S. military lead.

A clear line must be drawn to protect information that is:

• classified, or

• subject to export controls because it concerns militarily critical technologies, or

• proprietary information that is the intellectual property of a specific firm or individual.

Stay vigilant in handling and safeguarding information that has the potential to be compromised and used against our country.

When you have completed this module, you will be able to identify the classified and

unclassified controlled information security requirements presented in the following sections

of this module:

• Classified Information

• Access to Classified Material

• Categories and Levels of Classification

• Accountability for Classified Material

• Sensitive But Unclassified

27

Page 28: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

Classification is the identification of information that needs to be

protected in the interest of national security.

Classified information— regardless of physical form or

characteristics—is considered classified if it requires protection

against unauthorized disclosure in the interest of National Security.

Classified information may only be shared or communicated in a

location approved for classified discussions and only by approved

secure/classified means; e.g., secure telephone or secure fax.

28

Page 29: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

• Is a communication or physical transfer of classified or unclassified controlled information or material to an unauthorized recipient.

• Could potentially cause damage or irreparable injury to the United States.

• Can occur when an individual intends to transfer information/material, or by negligence.

Unauthorized Disclosure

• Termination of Security Clearance.

• Removal from any position of special confidence and trust requiring clearance.

• Termination of employment.

• Punishment under criminal prosecution.

• Money fines.

Penalties for unauthorized disclosure

29

Page 30: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

• The first requirement for allowing access to classified material is that the recipient must have a security clearance. As a person who holds a security clearance, you are personally responsible for all classified material entrusted to you.

• The second requirement is “the need-to-know.” You need access to the information in order to perform official duties.

• The third requirement you must fulfill in order to have access to classified information is to sign the SF-312. The SF-312 is a contractual agreement between you and the United States Government, in which you agree to protect classified information according to Federal Government regulations, to only allow access of classified information to authorized individuals, and to never disclose classified information to an unauthorized person. You signed this form after completing the Initial Security Briefing.

• All individuals who are granted a security clearance receive an initial security education briefing that includes safeguards, security awareness, and protection and control of classified and Unclassified Controlled Information.

CLEARANCE + NEED TO KNOW = ACCESS

30

Page 31: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

The appropriate cover sheets must be used any time a classified document is removed from a safe, vault, or vault-

type room. The purpose of a classified cover sheet is to prevent unauthorized visual access, serve as an

immediate identifier that the attached document or material is classified, and identify the classification level of the

document.

Classified cover sheets are identified as follows:

33

Page 34: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

Accountability for Classified Material

Certain classified material (i.e., paper, electronic, parts) requires stricter controls to prevent unauthorized access to or removal of classified material. These controls include a system of procedures that provide an audit trail and a chain of custody. Classified material requiring a control system and accountability are:

• Top Secret material

• Secret material stored outside a Limited Area (or higher)

• Any material that requires accountability because of national, international, or programmatic requirements (e.g., designated Special Access Programs, Sigma 14, designated COMSEC, etc.)

• Classified Removable Electronic Media (CREM) such as removable hard drives, laptops, compact disks (CDs), digital video discs (DVDs), etc., containing Secret/Restricted Data or higher classification

34

Page 35: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

Classified information:

• Must never be left unattended

• Must never be discussed in public places

• Must be discussed on secure telephones or sent via secure faxes

35

Page 36: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) - though unclassified, requires strict controls over distribution

(e.g., For Official Use Only, Law Enforcement Sensitive, Sensitive Homeland Security Information,

Security Sensitive Information, Critical Infrastructure Information).

Sensitive Security Information (SSI) - obtained in the conduct of security activities whose public

disclosure would harm transportation security, be an unwarranted invasion of privacy, or reveal trade

secrets or privileged or confidential information.

UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO- treated as confidential, which means it cannot be discarded in the open

trash, made available to the general public, or posted on an uncontrolled website (can include

personally identifying information such as passport and Social Security numbers).

36

Page 37: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

All classified information shall be marked to reflect the source of the classification and declassification

instructions per 4-208 of the NISPOM (National Industrial Security Operating Manual). Documents

shall show the required information either on the cover, first page, title page, or in another prominent

position. Other material shall show the required information on the material itself or, if not practical, in

related or accompanying documentation.

a. "DERIVED FROM" Line.

The purpose of the "Derived From" line is to link the derivative classification applied to the material by the contractor and the source

document(s) or classification guide(s) under which it was classified. In completing the "Derived From" line, the contractor shall

identify the applicable guidance that authorizes the classification of the material. Normally this will be a security classification guide

listed on the Contract Security Classification Specification or a source document.

b. "DECLASSIFY ON" Line.

The purpose of the "Declassify On" line is to provide declassification instructions appropriate for the material. When completing this

line, the contractor shall use the information specified in the Contract Security Classification Specification or classification guide

furnished with a classified contract. Or, the contractor shall carry forward the duration instruction from the source document or

classification guide (e.g., date or event).

37

Page 38: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

c. "DOWNGRADE TO" Line.

When downgrading instructions are contained in the Contract Security Classification Specification, classification guide or source

document a "Downgrade To" line will be included.

d. "CLASSIFIED BY" Line and "REASON CLASSIFIED" Line.

As a general rule, a "Classified By" line and a "Reason Classified" line will be shown only on originally classified documents.

However, certain agencies may require that derivatively classified documents contain a "Classified By" line to identify the derivative

classifier and a "Reason Classified" Line to identify the specific reason for the derivative classification. Instructions for the use of

these lines will be included in the security classification guidance provided with the contract.

A Derivative Classification course and Refresher course is required once every two years as outlined

in Executive Order 13526, DoD Manual 5200.01, Vol. 3, DoD Information Security Program, and DoD

5220.22-M, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Students will be able

to refresh their knowledge regarding the responsibilities and general principles associated with

derivatively classifying information. Contact [email protected] for information on the Derivative

Classification course and Refresher course.

correct clearance level, need-to-know and have signed the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement,

(SF 312).

3. The answer is FALSE.

Sensitive but unclassified information requires specific handling and distribution procedures. If you are unsure of the

status of the information you are dealing with, asked you supervisor, local security representative or Program

Manager. Don’t distribute or share until you know the status of the information you are working with!

4. The answer is TRUE.

A Derivative Classification course and Refresher course is required once every two years as outlined in Executive

Order 13526, DoD Manual 5200.01, Vol. 3, DoD Information Security Program, and DoD 5220.22-M, National

Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

In this module you learn the importance of Operations

Security (OPSEC) and the reason for the program. You will

see the importance of your participation in such a program

and what exactly you can do.

You will be reminded of Cyber Security and to be wary of

suspicious e-mails.

41

Page 42: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

What is OPSEC?

OPSEC is a process focused on protecting critical and sensitive

information by:

• Identifying threats and vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an adversary,

• Identifying and assessing the risk, and

• Developing and implementing countermeasures.

We, as individual employees, are the ones who implement the security measures used to protect classified and Unclassified Controlled Information (UCI).

Information released to the public in any form, (documents, e-mails, web pages, any form of media, etc.) may be of benefit to those who may:

• Target our facilities or sites for terrorist attack

• Use the information to develop weapons of mass destruction

• Commit acts detrimental to the U.S. national security, citizens, or property

• Practice intelligence gathering (hostile and friendly governments) of our technical information in order to gain an advantage over the U.S. in the economic, scientific and technical arenas

42

Page 43: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

What can I do, to do my part?

• Use passwords to access your government computers

• Destroy Unclassified Controlled Information (UCI) in an approved strip shredder

• Do not transmit sensitive information without following proper security procedures

• Do not discuss UCI or classified information in public

• Limit distribution of UCI (need-to-know)

• Guard against phone calls seeking personal and sensitive information

• Use appropriate markings on UCI and classified correspondence

• Watch possible inadvertent ways in which we release information

• Be aware of possible ways in which an adversary can collect information in an open environment (e.g., overheard conversations, notes left in open vehicles, etc.)

• Practice “need-to-know”43

Page 44: The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind ... · The purpose of the Annual Security Briefing is to remind and refresh individuals of their safeguarding and security

• The Information Technology (IT) Program establishes

requirements for protecting information and information systems.

These requirements include provisions for ensuring that the

protection is commensurate with the risk and damage that could

result from the loss, misuse, disclosure or unauthorized

modification of information that is processed, stored or

transmitted using any information system.

Unclassified Computer Systems

• Unclassified computer systems MUST NOT be used to process

classified information. Classified information must be processed

ONLY on accredited information systems in a designated

security area, such as a Limited Area. Unclassified Controlled

Information (UCI) must be processed according to site level

requirements.44

Be wary of e-mail attachments.

There are some basic principles to follow when using e-mail systems

at work. Handle e-mails from an unknown source cautiously. Ensure

the sender is a reliable source before clicking on a link embedded in

the e-mail.

DO NOT OPEN E-MAILS FROM A SUSPICIOUS SOURCE;

DELETE THEM.

Summary Cyber Security Tips

• Be wary of e-mail attachments • Don’t assume that e-mail is secure• Do not open spam (disruptive, commercial or unwanted e-mails) or

respond to e-mail solicitations (phishing) for personal information

1.) The correct answer is “All of the Above.” To ensure the protection of classified matter and

other “critical” program elements you have to practice need-to-know; when and where to

discuss and distribute classified or UCI.

2.) The answer is TRUE. You should always delete suspicious e-mails instead of opening them.

Reference: This assumption is a basic principle of Cyber Security.

Disciplinary Actions:

• The most frequent type of security violation that occurs is unintentional and caused by human error.

Continuous security awareness is our most effective means of minimizing these types of violations. Following

are some common human errors noted throughout industry:

• A safe or cabinet approved to store classified material is left unlocked and unattended. (Always check to see

that the container is locked prior to leaving the area).

• Classified material is hurriedly placed in a desk drawer when someone not authorized to see it approaches,

and then inadvertently, left there overnight or longer. (Either keep the material with you or return it to the

approved storage container).

• Classified information is inadvertently entered into a computer system not approved for classified processing,

or into an unclassified document. (Be thoroughly familiar with the classification of the information you are

working with).

Disciplinary Actions Cont.:

• Information believed to be unclassified is downloaded from a classified computer system onto a diskette, tape

or paper. It is not reviewed properly by the person responsible and is later found to contain classified

information. Prior to the classified contents being discovered, the media has been handled as unclassified and

has been accessed by unauthorized persons, and/or sent out of the facility as unclassified material.

• Classified material being hand-carried to or from another location is left unattended in a vehicle, hotel room, or

stored in a hotel or private residence.

• (Never transmit classified material by hand-carrying unless absolutely necessary).

• Classified material is provided to an individual that is not cleared, has not been approved for access at that

level or has a need-to-know. (Never provide classified material to anyone until you are assured that person is

has the appropriate clearance and a need-to-know; always ask and check first).

Disciplinary action taken will be based upon a review of each case’s own merits. The seriousness of the violation

will be determined by whether a compromise, suspected compromise, or loss of classified information has

occurred, or if it was only administrative in nature.

The company’s disciplinary action may be any one of the following depending upon the above factors:

• First Offense – Employee will be counseled and re-briefed on the protocol for handling classified material

appropriately.

• Second Offense - Employee will receive a write up/counseling report to be kept on file and be placed on

probationary period of no less than 90 days.

• Third Offense – Employee will have current clearance administratively withdrawn and a recommendation to

his/her direct supervisor for disciplinary action will be made.

In Summary:

• Ensure classified information and UCI are appropriately protected and controlled.

• Ensure need-to-know criteria for both classified and UCI are met prior to providing anyone access.

In addition, the recipient of classified information must possess the appropriate access

authorization (Secret or Top Secret Clearance).

• Ensure any document prepared in a potentially classified subject area is reviewed for classification

BEFORE publication and distribution.

• Know the security requirements for the area(s) you work in or visit, and follow site guidance for

prohibited and controlled items restrictions.

• Contact your site security office for guidance or questions regarding any security-related matter

(e.g., physical, cyber, personnel, information, classification, etc.).
